"Well, then, if the pigs are not

And trampled on the Saviour's blood;

For still I hate the very name ;
Yet he must be more safe than I,
Better prepared to live or die !

B3.The Albany Evenixg Jocbsal,
in noticing the action of the Southern
seceders, very truly remarks :
"Seceders repudiated Mr. Yaa Bu

the Slave Power. The Disunionists
repudiated Douglas for demanding
that the Constitution of Kansas
shonld be submitted to the people.
The madness of 1843 elected Gen.

the power of slavery to make or mar
the fortunes of Statesmen, departs for
